Designer & Developer

Building web applications for those who value creativity and expression as much as I do.

About

Creativity has always been my greatest asset, guiding me through both problem-solving challenges and artistic endeavors. It was during my Fundamentals of Digital and Online Media course that I first encountered front-end development, igniting my passion for the blend of problem-solving and design. This led me to pursue further education in Texas State’s Digital Media Innovations Program, with a dedicated focus on front-end development and design.


After completing my first internship with the software team at SXSW as a Designer and Developer, I gained invaluable insights into the potential of working on projects at a larger scale. This experience has made me want to focus on helping other creatives in achieving their goals through my expertise in front-end development and design.


In my free time, I enjoy learning more about music production, practicing different musical instruments, going on hikes to reconnect with nature, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Projects

  1. Music Productions Beginners Guide

    I developed a responsive website using frontend development languages to help aspiring music producers in their journey through the world of music production. The site features tools such as a note-to-frequency calculator, comprehensive product information, and an interactive quiz to assess users knowledge. Bootstrap components were utilized to ensure the best performance across different devices.
